Seminaries

Sankt Ignatios currently represents five Church traditions: The Coptic-Orthodox tradition, the Syriac-Orthodox tradition, the Byzantine-Orthodox tradition (Slavic and Greek), the Tewahedo-Orthodox tradition, and the Church of the East. Each tradition has its own seminary with a rector who is appointed by the Church itself, and who is responsible for the relationship with that Church’s bishop. The purpose of the seminaries is to provide the pastoral formation and the immersion into their own tradition's practice.
